Per the other thread, they are all gone...people and cats.
Turns out that I AM a cat person, a couple weeks before the fam left, they had a week's long holiday, and me and the three cats got on well.
Been alone for 7+ weeks now, and went to the nearby shelter on Father's day (LOL to chack out the abandoned animals), and a particular tabby went to great lengths to draw attention.
Thought for the week as to what I wanted, and went back today, and the cage was open...but she was in the play area.
"Storm"...was a street fighter on the North Coast that got caught and taken by the RSPCA in May. Repaired, rehabbed from her streetfighting ways, and now rehomed
Pics to come...she's exploring the place
